Found an eye upgrade!

[Nutter]

Found this in a museum - Just need to find some duct tape and strap it to my ship - apparently is better than my eyes!

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.

Ah, the ancients and their arcane knowledge.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What is this radar witchery you speak of!

is it a communist plot left over from the post-Trump era?

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

Actually, this radar thing is a fake news story. It is intended to hide the fact that pilots fed with carrots can see better.

 

[Flavourless]

Its OK, but makes your ship extremely vulnerable to ARM attack. Your eyes are better.

I have one of those aboard my boat. Needs a lot of power to run so forget about running cool and pack plenty of heat sinks.

 

[Mysturji]

I dub that thing "Spinny McSpinface".

I'm going to power down 160 tonnes of sensors - as they serve no purpose

+1 Very good.
I get what you did there [big grin]

 

[dunnst]

Kudos to you, Nutter, nicely said! Let's hope our game managment team will take something out of it

 

[bitstorm]

Wow!!

Imagine if we could add one of these to our ships. [woah]

 

[Iron Orchid]

Could really do with LIDAR

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Could really do with LIDAR

Do you get one of those when a lion mates with a radar?

 

[Lianachan]

Could really do with LIDAR

LIDAR is very cool, I use LIDAR data all the time.

Bunkum.
No way would something so routine today last over a thousand years in to the future.

Remember, while we are flying among the stars, back on Earth the Apes are evolving and taking over.
The only reason we don't know about this yet is that we can't scan or land there [wacky]

[Iori]

That looks like alien technology.

 

[StonedThoughts]

Welcome to the year 3303, hope you bring ya ducttape...

 

[Harley Quinn]

I asked the ships cat if she would help, she told me she wasn't a dog and it was nap time anyway

 

[Maucross]

C'mon guys, its year 3303, no way they could have one of those. Maybe on 10303.

 

[DNA-Decay]

Aren't those things constrained by speed of light?


Also re LIDAR my inner projectionist has unfortunately loaded that Attenborough blooper reel of Lion / Radar mating behaviors.
